What is recorded here

Mortons and Fells, Platform Rath with Counterscarp Bank in Listooder, County Down, Ireland: a raised earthwork platform cut by a defensive ditch, preserved as a scheduled ancient landscape. The flat top may have held a dwelling, a watch post, or a small ritual stage, while the steep bank below kept intruders at a distance. People may have climbed it at dawn, watched the land pass, and left it unchanged for centuries.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH with COUNTERSCARP BANK. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
